Reviews for PAUL in 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, WA
PAUL is my absolute favorite bakery to visit while in DC! My usual PAUL location was near FBI building but it closed. I stayed... in the Foggy Bottom at GWU area and it didn?t disappoint. The plain croissants are my favorite and then the chocolate croissant.I got an apple turnover this time. It was a bit tart but still good. I bought the 2 pack of chocolate chip cookies and they werealso delicious. The ladies were nice behind counter. I will definitely continue to visit a PAUL when visiting! Read more
Tried their strawberry cake, priced at $10+ taxes and it wasn?t as fresh. The cream did not have a normal texture. I was... travelling from Canada & was very excited to try their bakery/ pasteries but I am glad that I tasted it before buying anythingelse. No free parking available on site.

A top level French bakery with the look and feel of an authentic French bakery. The warmed chocholate and almond croissant is... superb! Read more
It?s heartbreaking to read some of these reviews that claim the food is bad, especially the quiche. We actually just came back... east from a cross-country trip to LA. We stopped by this location because inside are many dining options, but as a previousreviewer mentioned: the smell emanating from this bakery literally stopped me in my tracks. We went on to look at the otherrestaurants, but my nose led me right back to Paul?s. Now I?m not a food critic or a quiche connoisseur, but I have developed apassion for good food! Also, we?ve traveled a lot, so we know when we are getting good food! The service here is TERRIBLE, like,some of the worst we?ve ever experienced in our travels. This doesn?t seem to be an issue due to the pandemic or laborshortages: it?s a lack of properly training an individual before they?re in front of customers. Period. This, unfortunately,costs them a lot of business and creates bad reviews leading tourists and travelers away to higher-ranked establishments. Weleft DC and went to Charlotte, and I couldn?t stop thinking about that delectable vegetable quiche that had a silky, warm,custard filling in a perfectly-prepared flaky crust. I wanted to replicate my experience, so we ventured into a Frenchpatisserie in Southpark with decent reviews. Let me just say I left half of the quiche on my plate. What I had here at Paul?swas like nothing I?ve ever had before. It was quiche done right. Now mind you, I DID have to request it heated up bc the girlwas handing it over cold?bleh. She was very disorganized and SOOOOOOOOOO SLOW! Like the sloth from Zootopia slow! Have a persontake the orders, give out pastries and have a person cashing people out. Seems simple enough? No, they definitely complicate theordering system here, but that quiche?.worth every agonizing moment with the incompetent workers. The pastries were amazing too. Read more
If you want to have a piece of Paris, well this is the perfect spot. My breakfast experience was marvelous, the great pastries... selection, the ambiance, fresh latte and all the small details makes this boulangerie amazing. Read more
Once we got food it was very very good. But the process is confusing and the gal that was behind the counter had to keep... repeating herself that she was ONLY taking orders for bakery items. Would be faster if they just took orders with one person andpassed it along with any bakery items. Also quite $$$ Read more
Today?s start for me was not a good one. I was late for work then to make matters worse I get locked out. Right when I thought... things can turn for worse I saw this little gem and wanted to give it a try. Nothing beats fresh coffee and a reuben sandwich.Satisfied with lunch I was able to get some work done and needless to say my day in the end turned to be pretty good. Therestaurant is beautiful, the staff was friendly, and perfect. Read more
Dropped by this branch for lunch today, the chocolate almond croissant was fine, the apricot anglais nice, the service was... passable but the hot chocolate...still divine! ???? Read more
